Authentication

The Ycode API uses Bearer token authentication. Every request must include a valid API token in the Authorization header.

Creating an API token

  1. Navigate to your project settings in Ycode
  2. Click on the API Tokens tab
  3. Click Add API token to generate a new token
  4. Assign a name to the token for easy identification

Using the token

Include the token in the Authorization header of every API request:

curl https://app.ycode.com/api/v1/collections \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"

Managing tokens

To edit, pause, or remove a token, go to the API Tokens page in your project settings and click the three-dot menu next to the relevant token.

Available actions:

  • Edit — rename the token
  • Pause — temporarily disable the token without deleting it
  • Remove — permanently revoke the token

Keep your tokens secure

Do not share API tokens with unauthorized third parties. Treat them like passwords — if a token is compromised, remove it immediately and generate a new one.
